How It Works | Bailey's Business Solutions

Done for you, not homework for you

You wrote the book. You should not have to build the app too.

Some services hand you a login, a template, and a tutorial, and the app becomes your weekend project. That is homework wearing a price tag. At Bailey's, you never touch a design screen. You talk with Marianne, and a finished app comes back to you.

With a build-it-yourself platform

You learn their software before you can start
You pick features from a template menu
Your evenings go to layout problems
The app looks like everyone else's on that platform

With Bailey's

You have a conversation about your work
Marianne designs from what you say, and what you have not said yet
Your time stays on your writing and your readers
No two of our apps have ever looked alike, and the live apps on this site prove it

Every claim comes with proof

We make four promises, and the live apps back up each one.

Every link below opens the real app on our apps page, so you can test the promise yourself.

Activities come out of your work, not off a shelf

A book of short happy stories became a mood picker and a word find
A caregiving guide became a playable board game
Try Glimpses of Happiness live, or walk through our showcase living book

People use a tool. They only skim a page.

The Scam Validator answers a question people are afraid to ask out loud
Partner organizations pay to run it under their own logo
Type something suspicious into it live

A reason to come back next month

Streaks, levels, daily practice, and progress people can see
The difference between something bookmarked and something opened

A community your people belong to

Readers finish a book alone. An app gives them somewhere to find each other.
A room you own, not a comment section someone else rents you
Walk the Freedom Vault's five paths live

Pricing and membership

There are two ways to work with us.

Both start the same way: we listen, we build, and you go live. The difference is what happens after launch day. One is a single project. The other is a living book that keeps growing.

One-time build

Built once, yours forever

Starting at $3,500one-time design and launch fee

A single project with a clear finish line. Perfect for an idea, a launch, or a book that needs its app.

A full custom web app designed directly from your book, talk, program, or idea
Live on the web fast, with an honest timeline agreed on our first call
Hosting is included, so there is nothing technical for you to manage
An events calendar can be built in, and you add your own events
Ongoing content, media, and news updates are not included

Start your one-time build

An app that never goes stale

Starting at $3,500setup, then from $249 per month

The same custom build, plus a living app membership that keeps it growing.

Everything in the one-time build
Premium hosting and technical upkeep, completely handled
Done-for-you updates: send us your speaking dates, media appearances, or reader stories, and we keep the app fresh
An In the News section for your podcasts, press, and appearances
Flat-rate scale: your price stays flat, and a busy month never triggers per-reader fees or surprise surcharges

Launch your living app

Some platforms charge you more as your audience grows, so your best month becomes your biggest bill. Our membership does not work that way. If your app ever grows beyond its plan, that is a conversation with Marianne, never an automatic charge.

Do you need a larger custom build or a white-label ecosystem?

For organizations that need complex databases, deeper AI integrations, or custom enterprise logic, we design a completely tailored scope. Schedule a strategy call and we will map out your timeline and a custom quote.

Schedule a strategy call

What this costs compared to the old way.

A traditional agency

A quote in the tens of thousands
A kickoff meeting, then a discovery phase, then a wait
Your app arrives next quarter, if the timeline holds

Bailey's

A fraction of that cost
A conversation this week
The core of your app live in about seven days

The apps on this site were not built by a big agency on a big timeline. Tap any of them and judge the difference yourself.

"She transformed it into a living, interactive experience that supports pre-sales, keeps readers engaged after purchase, and encourages them to submit glimpses of their own."

Why there is no app store

Your app lives on the web, and that is a deliberate choice.

This matters most for the audiences who find app stores hardest, which is exactly who many of these apps are for.

An app store app makes them

Find it in a store and search for the right name
Remember an Apple or Google password
Download it and give up storage space
Install an update every few weeks
And the store takes thirty percent of your revenue

Your app makes them

Tap a link. That is the whole list.
Updates happen without them noticing
It works on a phone, a tablet, or a computer
Nothing to download and nothing to install
And nobody takes a cut of your revenue

First we listen. Then we build.
